One of the highlights was a snorkel safari on a beautiful boat, straight out of Mama Mia.

As we chugged towards the dive site, Mr NVN was in full Mary Beard mode attempting to enthuse the children with stories of Golden Fleeces, Sirens and Gorgons.

Suddenly my youngest jumped up, more animated than at any other time of the holiday.

“Look, look,” she shouted, pointing towards the front of the boat.

Mr NVN radiated smugness. I could tell he was already envisaging classics degrees and glittering prizes whose origins would be traced back to this very moment.

“They’ve got KETCHUP PRINGLES on the boat,” she squeaked, “I’ve never seen them before!”

“Can we have some Euros?” continued my eldest, also swept up in the moment, “you’re always telling us to try foreign food.”

Here is what you’ve been talking about on NappyValleyNet:

A heartbreaking post by SouthLondonJoiner. He is hoping for advice. His wife died of cancer and he feels her end-of-life care, at a major local hospital, was dreadful. She was “refused morphine” and “laughed at” and as a result he is now in the middle of what he feels is an unsatisfactory hospital investigation. Should he contact the media to persuade the authorities to take the issue more seriously? It goes without saying our thoughts are with him and his family and if you can help please do post (click here).

It looks likely that there will be a new TWENTY THOUSAND seater football stadium in Earlsfield and eight hundred new homes, according to Wandsworth Council. Wow, the words quart and pint pot come to mind! (click here)

Remember last weeks Northcote Road/Kentucky Fried Chicken/Chicken Shop story? Well it turns out that it’s not entirely correct. The new tenant for the Northcote Patisserie spot does have a hint of hen about them but it’s neither of the proffered purveyors of poultry! (click here)

The conman has been spotted again! But does he have a new disguise?(click here)

We don’t usually have posts from children but last week was a first. A young girl was eating pizza on Wandsworth Common when two dogs romped up, ate her food and scratched her phone. She wasn’t hurt, but she is very upset and would love to find the owner of the pizza pilfering pooches so she can make amends. Hear, hear and if you’re the guilty party please do own up, she only wants £20!(click here)

Superglue in door locks sounds a bit like an urban myth but it’s happened to two houses “Between the Commons”. Know of any others? And more importantly, what does it signify? (click here)
